As a skiier who has caught the snowboarding bug, I knew that if I bought anything before i went away to Italy it would be boots, as my experiences of hire shops have been less than successful (I have size 13 feet).
After reading various articles in magazines I went shopping with an open mind and tried a variety of boots from different makes, as fit, not the name, was my number 1 goal.
The Orion boots at first had a tight fit, but i was told that they would pad out after riding (they did). The support whilst riding was exellent, they had a firm flex and there was hardly any heel lift, due to a good lace up liner which anchored into the boot very well. The boot was very comfy, once again down to the boots great liner and outer construction. The outer boot was very warm and waterproof, even in deep powder. On a final note, the boots also looked good, not like some which look like lace up wellies, Bonus!
